About Diana

Experienced in both account management & project/program management in heavily regulated data-driven environments such as healthcare provision & pharmaceutical advertising.

Recently pivoted from healthcare into my first role in tech as a Technical Program Manager with a privacy and compliance focus.

I bring a positive, can-do attitude to challenging, dynamic, agile teams. I'm inquisitive & results-focused.

I'm often recognised for my interpersonal skills, strong attention to detail & ability to liaise between executive & technical teams.

I'm strong on documentation.
I don't shy away from spreadsheets.
I don't hate PowerPoint (done right, of course!).

My top 3 skills as a program manager are:
1) perseverance
2) communication
3) process mapping/improvement

For those wondering about healthcare expertise: mainly cancer, aged care & community pharmacy.
Plus a little paediatric vaccination, ophthalmology & general practice.
